Has it really been since July that I took the time to put
some news together about what the Thumbprint Endeavors team is doing
lately? Wow, how time flies when
you are busy, busy, busy.
Linda was incredibly busy last summer with the Campus
Community Gardens and Gardening Outreach.
Then with the start of Fall Semester, in addition to teaching and
Associate Director of the Office of Sustainability, she has was elected to
several new roles: Chair, University Building and Grounds Committee; Faculty
Senate Representative for CEHS, and University Executive Committee; and Chair,
Sustainability Committee, Southern Ohio Consortium for Higher Education
(SOCHE). In addition, she was
appointed to the newly created role as the Building Liaison for the New
Classroom Building. So, much of
her time has been devoted to organizing, conducting and reporting back from
many, many meetings related to buildings on campus. Last November, Linda attended GreenBuild 2012 in San
Francisco CA.
Barret has also been very busy in Denver. He is now Development Executive with
International Center for Appropriate and Sustainable Technology, better known
as iCAST (www.icastusa.org). He is also working with the other side
of the enterprise, Resource Smart (www.resourcesmart.org). In this new position,
Barret can pursue the career that he is passionate about —
helping and educating people about energy conservation and Greening the
built-environment.
Paul will be working soon as a Junior Architect Intern in
Toronto. He and his wife relocated
there last year after his graduation from Washington State University with his Master
of Architecture (M.Arch.) degree.
So, that’s the news.
Our team is more loosely affiliated than in the past but interestingly,
we all continue to work in various shades of Green in the world of design and
construction of the built environment, while we also strive to help people and
organizations to make their day-to-day operations more sustainable.
That’s the latest with Thumbprint Endeavors LLC. Take Care and Think, Act Green. It is in the best interest for all of
us!
